It's weird to think that in just one week I will be travelling to the UK. I'm off to visit my family for three weeks and I can't wait. Saying that I feel completely unprepared. My vacation seemed a long way off and suddenly here I am with a week to go feeling completely stressed out. I just have to tell myself that whatever doesn't get done just doesn't get done and be ok with that.
On a sad note, my uncle suffered a severe stroke and passed away last week. My heart breaks for my aunt and cousins as, having lost my own father, I know just how hard this must be for them. I'm glad that his funeral is the day after I arrive so that I can be there in person to give them all great big hugs.
It's been two years since I was last home. It will be good to visit some of my favorite places and spend time with my family, I miss not being able to see them often.
I guess I should step away from the computer and dig out my suitcase. I've heard it's cold and raining there right now so I need to figure out what clothes to pack. Let the count down begin.
Three weeks, how fun! I so wish I were going with you....where about in the UK are you from? My family (dads side) came from Mildenhal in England, and most lived at Marriage Hill (but the name might have changed) ? I don't have all the info in front of me, so much to remember. It will be great for you to be there for the funeral and for support.
ReplyDeleteLucky you!! Looking forward in anticipation - is half the fun of traveling there.
ReplyDeleteMarcie, you are so right. If only I could transport myself there as I hate the 'travelling' part.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your Uncle but I Hope you are able to have a lovely time visiting. I am rather jealous as it is 10 years since I have been home :(
ReplyDeleteI keep hoping each year I will be up to the trip or all the money won't go on college fees but it invaribly does but I will live vicariously thru your photos when you return :)
Have a lovely time, take care, T. :)
Be sure to take lots of photos for us, Kathryn! I'm excited for you. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous image of a "family" of trees - supporting one another, growing together. Wishing you a wonderful visit home.
ReplyDeleteOh, it sounds wonderful, I hope you have a great time!
